In these next 15 pages we find that Chris hates Sue now also. Maybe she's just hateful by nature or she just believes that Sue is a hypocrite. Chris is the type of teen that dresses provovativly, wearing things like a white blouse witrh no bra under with tight velvet pants, which I find just a little repulsive. We also find that Sue is loosing her popularity because of her tryng to make up for what she did to Carrie. What is King trying to say about redemption here? That it sometimes comes at a cost? Possibly even that its best to leave the past in the past. I also find that Chris seems very one sided but maybe that's because we don't go through much character building with her. We also find out that Carrie and Tommy (origionally Tommy and Sue) are going to be running for prom king and queen which Chris finds extremely hilarious. In "The Shadow Exploded" it simpily says that Carrie gets ruined on prom not, which pretty much ruins the surprise ending that was supposed to happen. Billy Nolan and his gang of friends go to a local farm. Billy says that he would kill for Chris, is this out of lust or love? Since he's even discribed by King as a gangster it's probably just lust. Him and his friends end up killing a few pigs, "pig blood for a pig" so he says. We go to Carrie trying on her dress for the first time, her mother comes in and sees her in it and urges her to burn it, but Carrie doesn't want to by any means so she refuses. Her mother's eyes are said to gleam when "tests of faith" are at hand, does this mean she is a masochist/sadist? Probably so considering all she has done to Carrie and now since she is hurting herself like she did before when Carrie was a child. Carrie goes about what's going on wrather calmly, probably because she is used to it, and ends up dragging Margaret out of her room with her mind. Then we end with Carrie waiting for Tommy to come pick her up and take her to the prom.
